A. expect less of minority or low-income children.
B. expect less of female students than male students.
C. do not teach as well when working in a low-income school.
D. expect students to be able to master learning with little direct instruction.

Answer 1

Along with other reasons, the achievement gap among students exists mainly because the educators expect less of minority or low-income children.

Explanation:

• It is critical for achieving something substantial that there is an ample availability of resources, guidance, and motivation.
• In most cases with students, the crude expectations that the educators keep from the students motivate the students to do better at academics and other allied activities.
• Thus, expecting less from the students can cause the students to exhibit an achievement gap.
